The CCTS and Phoenix Type RBA

Got a nice extra in the mail yesterday. I'd ordered a CCTS, which is a completely mechanical mod, from a vendor in Indonesia. One reason I wanted this is I am going to try out an AGA-T+ soon, which is a rebuildable atomizer/tank. Mechanical mods are good for testing out coils when rebuilding. Anyway, as well as the CCTS I also was sent a free Phoenix type rebuildable atomizer. Its a clone of a Phoenix actually, but from reviews I've watched it is said to be as good as the original. So I spent an evening dripping and vaping with the Phoenix and have found it very good to use. Just used the stock coil and wick and had to fiddle with the coil a few times - great vapor production and flavor. The coil was 2.9-3.0 ohms so it while it worked with the CCTS the resistance was a bit high, but it worked very well on the Vamo because I could up the wattage. Will do my own coils when my other supplies arrive. The CCTS telescopes so can be used with different size batteries. Here's another pic of the set up:

An update: I used the CCTS exclusively all yesterday evening with Vision vivi novas. It performed well. It's well put together and the threads are smooth. I haven't used a pinky button mod before so that took a little getting used to. Didn't take long to be enjoying that feature too. The fire button can be screwed outwards which locks it so there are no accidental fires while the CCTS is left unattended or carried around. The are safety vent holes by the fire button and up on the burl around the top piece. The top has 4 small square grooves cut into the sides which allow for airflow - and that's one of the reasons the vivi novas work well with it.
I'm pleased with this mechanical mod. Even full size with an 18650 battery its not really big - its noticeably shorter than a Zmax for example. That's due to the CCTS not having a circuit board needing space inside of course.
